High Court Orders Uganda Christian University to Pay UGX. 100 Million for Unfairly Revoking a Student's Transferred Credits After Four Years of Study and Frustrating Her Legitimate Expectation to Graduate

The Court observed that UCU's own conduct, permitting four years of progression, clearing her for Guild Presidential candidature under a rule requiring no academic retakes, and introducing her to the Ministry of Justice as “awaiting graduation”, was found to be wholly inconsistent with its later position

Applying Halsbury's formulation and Paponette v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago, the Court held that the 2022 admission letter, the applicant's placement in Semester II, and UCU's conduct over four years (including the Guild Presidency vetting) gave rise to a legitimate expectation that her transferred credits were accepted, shifting the burden to UCU to justify any reversal

#ManCrushMonday hits different. The valuer determining the price must consider market price at their mind. This week, Kasoha⁩ Ismael takes it and with him, gentility and humility are ridden. As a future advocate, it's an art of advocacy to always keep calm & patient.@dkmaraga

High Court at Kabale Clarifies Principles Governing Leave to Appeal Out of Time and the Distinction Between Review, Revision, and Admission of Additional Evidence on Appeal

The court clarified that an application for enlargement of time to file an appeal is a specific remedy under Section 79(1)(b) of the Civil Procedure Act, which allows an appellate court to admit an appeal for good cause even if the limitation period has elapsed.

The prescribed period for appeal is 30 days under Section 79(1)(a) of the Civil Procedure Act. The court found that the applicant had brought the application under the wrong provision of the law (Section 96 instead of Section 79 of the Civil Procedure Act).
